Oh definitely. Very addictive. Not sure which season you're on but it's all very but we LOVE it.

Apparently students play a drinking game where they watch a whole day in one sitting and they have to down a shot whenever Jack says "you have to trust me"
Think you'd get very drunk doing that.
LOL

JodieG1 · 18/01/2008 15:36

I love it too. Another student drinking game is when he says dammit. I read that news got back to Keifer about the games and he kept slipping in extra dammits

JodieG1 · 18/01/2008 15:37

Kiefer even, it is Kiefer not Keifer isn't it? I can't remember for the life of me.

By season 3 you'll be playing "spot the baddie in CTU"

littlerach · 18/01/2008 15:51

We atched them back to back, and were riveted by it.

brimfull · 18/01/2008 15:52

we've just finished series 5

fab

bonus point and big drinkie if you see anyone eating or drinking

I want a mobile that flips open like everyone in CTU

StealthPolarBear · 18/01/2008 15:56

and the ring tone of the ctu phones
when is season 7 on box set?

florenceuk · 18/01/2008 16:00

we're watching the latest (series 6) and I have to admit that I have semi-switched off. If I were not knitting I would not be on the couch. It just goes on and on, they finish one story line and think, ooh another 8 hrs to go, let's bring in another evil superpower. some attempt at coherency would be welcomed. and I think it's quite wrong in a plot sense to establish someone as cruel, heartless torturing CTU agent and turn them into saintly CTU agent halfway through with no justification other than to generate another plot line (those who have seen series 6 know what I mean). Apparently Series 7 brings back Tony Almeida as a bad guy! I mean really

OliviaMumsnet · 18/01/2008 16:00

I think Season 7 is delayed by the writers' strikes (and Kiefer's stint in jail )

StealthPolarBear · 18/01/2008 16:26

florenceuk, no I don't remember that bit

florenceuk · 18/01/2008 16:36

I mean transformation of Doyle, the heartless torturer, into stauch Jack fan.

VanillaPumpkin · 18/01/2008 16:38

I am the sort of loser who has the ring tone on my phone .
I had a quote on FB saying the Superman wears Jack Bauer pyjamas. Made me lol.

VanillaPumpkin · 18/01/2008 16:39

that Superman even! Gah!

StealthPolarBear · 18/01/2008 16:51

Ah yes I remember now!

smartiejake · 18/01/2008 18:39

We've just started season 4. It's a load of old cobblers but I love it.
BTW in season 3 Nina Myers reared her ugly head again, but DH and I thought she had been bumped off in season one after killing Jack's wife?

Cappuccino · 18/01/2008 19:44

it is hilarious

I am only on season 2 dh refuses to watch it

I have just watched them make a woman with little experience in interrogation interrogate the main suspect

she looked about 22

We are addicted in my house. Was especially good to have when constantly BFing throughout the evening when DD was tiny. We finished season 5 a while ago but are having a couple of months break before season 6! So sad. I really fancy Jack (but not Kiefer so much). Think that DH has a man crush on him too!

Prunters · 18/01/2008 19:53

I think I enjoyed numbers 1 2 3 and 4 but gave up at number 5 as it was so nasty - lots of torture
I could be wrong about the numbers
It is quite gripping stuff
I absolutely loathe the implicit understanding that the viewer has to have that the American counter terrorist squad is honourable, decent and intelligent I think 24 will be found to have been heavily influenced by some secret bod in the government whose agenda is to help ordinary Americans blindly accept any and all actions carried out by governemtn agents. DH calls me a fruitloop when I voice this

Kitti · 23/01/2008 17:20

I started to get abit bored by season 3 but still watched it anyway and realised by season 5 that seasons 3 and 4 perhaps hadn't been too bad - I never like Kim though - she ruined all of them except the first one. I just finished watched season 6 and enjoyed it alot more. I can't believe Tony would be brought back as a baddie - he died didn't he?? I know Michelle did but I'm sure that Tony did as well - wasn't he recovering in CTU and then they brought in the guy who had killed Michelle and he tried to kill him but was stopped and then got killed himself (one season kinda blurs into another at times!!) Agree - finding Jack much more attractive in Season 6 but Keifer Sutherland sounds like a prat in real life!!
